A knock on the door was rushed Akuma to the mansion's front door and opened it. A male who seems to be in his mid teens looked at the other with confusion.
"Is this the Naiteiru residence?" The boy looked at the piece of paper then looked at the other boy with red hair in distrut.
"Yes? This is..." Akuma thought that Kigen used her other alias to buy this house. Ideas started to part take into Akuma's mind, thinking about assassins working for Sydney and trying to kill them off one by one.
"You don't look like Kigen. Are you her boyfriend?" The teen boy rose one of his eyebrows and looked deeply into Akuma's eyes.
"NO! I'm her best friend. MAN who are you anyways?!" Akuma stepped back from the shock that this dude standing in front of him thought that his bestest friend was his- girlfriend.
"Oh I'm sorry heh heh. You and Kigen have never heard of me but I'm... I'm her big brother. Jace Naiteiru. I work for C.O.R.E ever since Kigen was born and welp I kept an eye on her though she doesn't know that or anyone. " The honey blonde haired boy extended his hand as both boys shook hands.
"Oh and I also brought a friend." The other male turned around and simply waved once as he smoked a cigarette. He had shades to cover his eyes but Akuma knew that his eyes were closed and that he really didn't want to be here for some reason.
"Don't mind him... He really doesn't speak to anyone unless he gets to know them better. You could say he's anti-social, because he did that to me when I first met him." Akuma sighed in relief as he had thought that he had done something wrong to disgrace this fellow in front of him. The other male seem familiar. Like he had seen him before. But shook it off his mind as he stayed on guard.
"I've heard that she's been very busy in your last mission." Jace fixed his glasses as he looked at Akuma.
"Yea... So are you here to take the gundam or something?" Akuma crossed his arms and waited for an answer. He knew that once Kigen gets something, she keeps it and fixes it when necessary.
"Um no. The source just wanted us to check up on you guys and says that she is able to keep it if she wont use it for any evil." The other male muttered softly as he took out the cigarette out from his mouth.
"I gotta quite smoking soon. The names Dante." Dante extinguished the cigarette by stomping on it and then twisted his foot to make sure that it's dead.
".... I hope that your going to clean that up mister...." Akuma glared at Jace's friend.
"Come in I guess while I inform the other three that your here." Akuma moved aside as both Jace and Dante walked inside.
"Please wait in the Living room as I get them." He pointed to the living room as Jace and Dante looked at the huge mansion.
"Whoa. Kigen surely had outdone herself by getting this beautiful mansion all by herself. Still writing books and selling her paintings." Dante agreed to what Jace complimented his little sister in. The two walked into the living room and sat down.
"And she also had a bunch of expensive furniture." As Dante was about to touch a marble statue of some sort, he had heard someone clear their throat. The two faced their direction to where that noise was made. "And my I ask why you tried to touch my sculpture that I recently made as well as your names so I wouldn't call the police here?" Kigen tapped her foot and crossed her arms as the two stood up and bowed politely.
"Ohayoo Gozaimasu. My name is Jace. A pleasure to meet you and right beside me is Dante." Kigen still had an angered look on her face as she looked at Akuma for more information.
"Is it O.K. If I told her who you two are?" Akuma looked at both Dante and Jace.
"Sure..." Dante took off his glasses as he faced away.
"Jace is your big brother, Kigen and Dante is a friend of his." He looked carefully at the features of Dante, now that he took off his shades.
"Hey! You look like Maverick! Are you like his brother or something. Chunky Monkey said he did have a bro. But also said that he hasn't heard nor seen him ever-since when he was just five years old." As he was about finished with that sentence, Maverick walked acrossed the entrance way of the living room, with a subway stuffed into his mouth.
"I heard that... And quit calling me chunky monkey you ogre..." His eyes was closed as he started to chew his food. He then looked at Akuma and then the two people behind the couch. His eyes widen as he gulped his food down.
"Dante?! Is that you?!!" Maverick quickly ran into the living room while shoving his subway towards Akuma while kind of surprised him as he stepped back a bit, almost falling on himself. The two brothers started to hug each other. It has been a long time since they have seen each other.
"I thought you wouldn't recognize me lil bro.?" He placed Maverick in-between his arm and side and into a headlock then started to give his little brother a nuggie. Maverick tried to pull his head out but it was no use, Dante's grip was strong and he really wouldn't want his head popping out from his body.
"Um Dante, it's really hurting me. Could you please stop?!" Dante let loose and finally let his little brother go.
"We're both grown up and I forget how strong I am now." Dante chuckled as he looked at his brother with pride. Kigen walked towards Jace who just looked towards her with no emotions.
"Some kind of family reunion huh. How come I've never heard of you in the C.O.R.E.?" the red banged girl examined him as she walked around Jace checking if he's the real deal or someone trying to play a trick on her.
"I knew you were stubborn Kigen. But I wouldn't thought that you were this stubborn." Jace sighed as he handed her a manila folder without any doubt. She took the folder and opened it as Akuma went by her side to read it with her.
"Hm... It talks about the corporation that we were at and our data, Kigen..." Akuma looked at her, still holding the sandwich that Maverick suddenly shoved into his hands.
"Yea and it talks about our training and ranks too. But I still don't believe it Akuma." Kigen closed the folder and looked at the male standing infront of her.
"If you've been there then do you know who our mother and father are?" Kigen held the folder with her arms crossed, securing it within her grasp. Jace looked down and was quiet for a while.
"I would want to know who our parents where but unfortunately they wont give that away. But all I know is that our father was working with C.O.R.E but was later killed in a mission while we were growing up." He was hoping that she wouldn't ask that.
The honey blonde haired teen was waiting for a big emotional sister, crying from the fact that she never saw her father. He was shocked that she didn't do nothing. She just stood there, looking down at the ground while everyone looked at her, waiting for an emotion to break out. Maverick walked towards his love, about to comfort her. He placed his hands on her shoulder.
"Are you goin' to be all right, dear?" There was no answer from Kigen. Just silence.
"We never met him and yet he died in a stupid mission." She looked at Jace, frustrated and confused. Cypher had just walked in with a strange look on his face.
"Uh. did I miss something or what?" Akuma motioned Cypher to go with him to the kitchen. The brown haired boy knodded as he accompanied Akuma to the Kitchen.
"Alas, the time has come dear brother... to show me to your room." Dante placed a toothpick into his mouth as it stuck out a bit. Maverick walked towards the stairs as Trent followed. Kigen on the other hand, sat down on a near by couch and took a deep breath and sighed. Jace sat near hear and placed his arms around his little sister.
"I know it's tough but look at the bright side, you live in a great house, you have friends who care for you as well as a big brother to now protect you and guide you to the safest path there is." He smiled as her as she looked at him and gave him a hug.
"Are you goin' to keep your promise or do I have to whine and beg for it?" A smile came up to her face and both felt happy to find out that they are there for one another.
"So what took you so long to meet me Jace?" She looked up at her honey blonde haired brother.
"The corporation gave me a lot of assignments to go to and all the computer work made me so very busy Kigen." He slouched onto the couched, imagining the work he had put up through the years he's stayed there.
"Must be like hell going throught that Kind of stuff." She tried to imagine herself going through that mess.
"Nah that's not as tough at what you and the three boys have went through during your missions. Infiltrating bases, getting your ass nearly killed, and now; you got a new toy to play with from all that troubles you had to go through." He looked at the still visible bruises and bandages on her arms as well as her other teammates.
"It was worth it. If we hadn't hi-jacked that gundam. That girl, Eve would be destroying the whole city by now," She clentched her fist tightly as she remembered that demonic look in Eve's eyes.
"True..." Both looked down towards the ground as silence has begun once more. Kigen stood up and extended her hand towards her big brother.
"Shall I show you my abode?" She giggled as Jace grabbed her hand as she helped pull him up. The two walked towards the stairs. Kigen went up first as Jace followed her.
"In that room, is the viewing room to the holographic chamber..." She pointed to the door as they finally got up to the second floor.
"May I see it?" Jace started to get a bit curious.
"Sure." Kigen smiled as she opened the door to the viewing room.
"Good afternoon Ms. Kigen. My who might this person be?" The computer zoomed its cameras to Jace's face, trying to get some data or profile.
"Computer... This is Jace. My big brother... Hopefully you will be able to see him more often." She sat down on a movable computer chair.
"So this place is your main computer room? Nice. How'd you get all of this stuff?" Jace looked at the systems and tools that she had in hand.
"Yes this is the main computer in the house. It's only for the chamber though. Welp if you read my history, I bought all these things in pieces and upgraded it to my behalf. Ain't I soooo smart?!" She stuck her tongue at him as he chuckled back.
"So do you want to add your data in Computer?" Kigen turned of the system as the screen switched on. She started to type in some things as the computer opened a profile file. Jace sat down beside her as he carefully looked at the screen.
"What does this do?" He wondered.
"Mr. Naiteiru. This file will help you go into the holographic chamber. It tells me your abilities, skills, levels, and your approved status reports. It also helps me understand what you need to work on like Kigen needs to work on her sight abilities..." The computer spoke.
"Oh..." He understood that this chamber helps Kigen and the gang to approve of the skills that they need work on.
"Thanks for being a dork Comp..." Kigen was a bit ashamed for the fact that her very own computer babbled out about her weakness.
"Hey Kigen. Don't you have a name for your computer?" He looked at her and to the screen as he started to type his information down.
"Never thought of that... What do you recommend I should call my computer?" She leaned back onto the chair as she yawned a bit.
"Hmmm.. Why don't you call it Dorthy?" Jace continued to type his profile down.
"Nah... That reminds me too much of this teen girl named Dorthy Catalonia..." Shivers ran down her face as she remembered that cockroach eyed girl. Jace started to laugh as he heard of that legendary girl before.
"How about... Andrea? Hey computer do you like that name Andrea?" She looked up at the camera screen.
"That would sound much suitable Ms. Kigen. Thank you." Kigen smiled as she looked at Jace's profile.
"Wow... Your stats are really good." Jace covered the screen and laughed hesitanly.
"Hahahaha. You gotta be kiddin' me. I suck compared to Dante's!" He looked at the confused Kigen. Calmly, he looked down upon Maverick and Dante whos training in a matted floor.
"Sis... what are they doing down there? It looks like their sparring down there..." Kigen stood up as well as she too started to look down upon Maverick and Dante.
"Hai your right. I guess Dante has already placed his profile in already." She noticed that their just standing there, watching each other, waiting for the other to move first.
"I guess I should hurry and finish my profile." He sat down and started to type in the rest of his profile.
"This chamber kind of reminds me of the holographic room the teacher's placed us in." Jace looked towards Kigen as she nodded.
~~~~
"Aren't you goin' to move or what, Dante?" Maverick clentched his fist, waiting for a drop of sweat to drop from Dante's face.
"No I thought the youngest should start first..." A slight grin came over his face.
"So be it." Maverick dashed towards his older brother as he just stood there, waiting for him to make his first move. As Maverick got closer, he threw a punch towards him. Dante simply smiled as in an instant his little brother was on the ground, face first.
"You need to work on your tactics..." Dante Chuckled as he extended his hand towards Maverick. He turned around and reached for his brother's hand. Dante helped him up as he smiled.
"You have to let your body do the talking, be relax and let your body react to your own flow. If you tense up, you lose and that's it." He patted Maverick's back and chuckled.
"Thanks for the adivce... I'll be practicing it and I know that for sure." He started to stretch his back and arms.
"So what have you been doing these pass years?" He looked at Dante who just placed a cigarette in his mouth.
"Been doing a lot of covernt mission as well as bounty huntin" He lit up a match and lit up the cigarrette.
"And when did you start smoking?" Maverick rose an eyebrow. Dante of course looked down at the cigarrette which was in his mouth and sighed.
"It's been a long time. Been tryin' to quit for a while..." He rose is left boot and tunred the cigarrette off by the sole of his shoe.
"You should. Smoking distorts your body function and you don't do things a hundered percent from that." Maverick waited for Dante to get ready as they under went another round.
"It's your turn to strike first." Maverick squated a bit as he placed one hand behind his back and used his other to motion his brother to come and do his most powerful move ever.
A mild snort came out of Dante as he suddenly vanishes out of Maverick's sight. The surprised Maverick then found out that Tobias placed him in a head lock, his elbows tightening up his head. Pain then emerged as his head felt like it was going to explode. Tighter and tighter his brother's grip went as Maverick slowly got his hand up towards his brothers. Then suddenly Maverick flipped him over as Tobias landed on his foot in the nick of time.
"That was just luck." Maverick rubbed the side of his head as Dante snicker a bit.
"Your such a show off." Maverick growled as he got enought energy and dashed towards his brother once more.
Again, Dante crossed his arms as a small grin came over him. Then with a flash, Maverick hastilydashed towards the right of his brother, and leg swept him, making his brother fall on the ground. His wide eyed expression showed that Dante didn't expect that to happen to him as Maverick Jumped up and threw a punch at his brothers head. The dark brown hair teen rolled away from his brother's punch as it met the mat that made the pain blunt. Maverick looked at his brother as Dante rolled on his back and gave himself enough momentom to help himself onto his feet. Dante then ran towards his brother and did a round house kick towards his face. His brother then blocked his kick as he held the bottom part of his leg and foot and pushed it away from his body. Dante again did another round house kick and yet again Maverick obstructed it as abruptly as he could as he punched him in the face. Dante didn't expect it as he stepped back a bit as he wiped the blood that trickled from the cut on his mouth.
"Good one. No one had laid a punch on Dante since now." Jace patted the shocked Dante on the back as Kigen ran towards Maverick and hugged him unexpectedly. Dante just looked down at the blood that stained his hand and looked at Maverick who was a bit worried about him.
"I've never felt pain for a while till now. Amazing on how the adrenaline just shot up like that. And your minor modification to my way of fighting improved in the short time we fought. Intriguing." Dante drew out his hand. Both brothers then shook hands.
"You two are amazing. I give you a lot of props for drawing some of your brother's blood, Mavy." Kigen looked at Dante's wound and took out a mini first aid kit she held in her black short pocket. She then handed it to Dante and he thanked her generously as he opened it to get some iodine to disinfect his cut.
"Do ya want me to stitch it up for ya?" Kigen refrerred to him as they all walked out from the room and into the control room.
"I guess. But I usually don't get this kind of help from people." He then took out a napkin and wiped any exess blood from his face.
"So anyways, let's change the subject... So how do you like the crib?" Maverick wondered as Kigen sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Very unique. So you two goin' out eh?" Dante rubbed his chin giving the two a sly look on his face. The two smiled.
"That's cool with me." He started to lean against the chair and stratched his arms.
"Just be good to one another ok?" Jace smiled back. the door opened as Akuma and Cypher popped in.
"So you guys where here all along, I thought you guys were still at the living room." Akuma leaned against the wall as Cypher growled at Akuma as he entered the room.
"Actually, he made me search all over the mansion INCLUDING the forest in the back yard." Akuma chuckled frantically as Cypher looked like he was about to make and imprint of his fist onto his face. The rest laughed as Akuma stayed very distant to Cypher.
~~~~~~
Jace's cell rang as he turned it on and spoke to it. "Yes Commander Rizal? How may I help you today?" The rest looked at him as he used his free hand to fix his glasses.
"Yes I'm at my sisters mansion... Oh no were all not busy." Kigen rose her eyebrow as Jace then sat down near her and grabbed a pen and pad and wrote,
"They're asking if Maverick and Dante wanted to do a special mission down at Alaska. It's to find out if there's any movement from any terrorists that we might not know as of yet." Kigen was surprised as she took the pen off from the table and also started to write something down.
"Oh ku. So it's like a really big reunion for them huh?" She then gave him the pen as he wrote down and yes.
"Sir, I would think that the two would accept the mission... Oh ok then, Your welcome. Goodbye sir." He then place his comammnder on hold as he walked towards the brothers of mayhem.
"Dante, Commander Rizal wants to know if you and Maverick would accept a mission to Alaska to find out of there is any terroristic movement goin' on there." Jace once more fixed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. The two looked at each other with a big smile upon their faces.
"Sure well do it. But in one condition." Dante placed his arm around Jace's back with his hand rested on his shoulder.
"What would that be..." Jace laughed hesitantly, fearing the worsed from them.
"Lemme see. We wanna stay at the Ice Hotel, two beds, two flat screen plasma TVs, two DVD players, a lot of food, game counsels, and some other stuff." Trent smiled at his friend.
"Like Games for the game counsels, Kingdom hearts, Tekken 4, DVDs, etc etc." Maverick jumped for joy just thinking about it.
"Two minds that think alike and often seem to act alike." Kigen sighed.
"Did ya hear that Commander?" Jace sighed.
"ALL THAT?! DO I LOOK LIKE I AM MADE OUT OF MONEY?! Nevermind... If they want it they'll get it..." Commander Rizal grunted.
"So it is confirmed that they are going to the mission with the condiminients that must require to live." Jace looked at the two who were making faces at him like sticking their tongues at him, making goofy eyeballs, and sqeezeing their cheeks together.
Jace sighed as Commander Rizal confirmed that their items that they wanted has been added to the inventory of the room that they had reserved for Dante and Maverick. While the two hopped for joy. Akuma and the rest just looked at them with sure amusement.
"Well in a half an hour, we'll be heading back to C.O.R.E to get Dante's things so... I would suggest that Maverick should get his things before we leave." Jace looked at Maverick who is still prancing around with his brother.
"I guess that's my que to help you." Kigen sighed as she walked towards Maverick and pulled him away.
"Strange. How they act like they haven't left each other from childhood." Cypher muttered to himself as he left to go to his room. Jace and Dante then followed Akuma to the living room.
"So Akuma. You don't remember me at all? Not a slight bit?" The honey bonlde glanced towards the red headed boy as he placed hand behind his head to support it as he looked up towards the ceiling.
"Not at all actually. But if you give me a hint then I would probably remember." The three walked down the stairs, with Akuma still looking up at the ceiling.
"Ok... Do you remember a day as kids, when you and your group including Kigen was heading off to your daily five mile runs. Do you remember when you looked up at the viewing room above the indoor forrest room, did you see two boys, one with a bit of a honey blonde hair much like the young cartoon character named Trunks but with glasses? And the other boy with not too short of a hair-do and not to visible short red bangs?" They sat down on the couch as Akuma tried his best to remember that day since he remembered that each and every day they had to run before every training classes.
"Come to think of it. It was when we were about nine...Wasn't that the day when Kigen got seriously hurt in the heavy armed battle?" Akuma bit his bottom lip just trying to remember that awful day.
"Yea. But you know that ever since that day, she has been pushing her limits to never ever let herself get into that kind of mess ever again." Jace shut off his eyes while leaning against the couch.
"Now I remember you!" Akuma rapidly stood up while pointing to Jace.
"You were there when the paramedics took her away. You were right beside her, checking if she had any internal injuries that might kill her." Right when he was about to say something else, Kigen and Maverick came into the room with a strange look in their faces.
"What's going on here?" A concern look came upon her as she slightly tilted her head.
"Nothing Lil' Dragon." Akuma went behind Kigen and messed up her hair.
"Welp I'm ready to go Jace." Maverick held his sack with one hand with the sack partly on the ground.
"All right. Trent, We're going now." Jace looked at his friend who was sitting on the couch, watch some T.V.
"Well can we stop by to get some geroceries?" Dante slanted his head back as he looked towards Jace, while turning off the television.
"Sure thing... Just don't buy all those junk food. You know that it's not good for you." Jace sighed as he fised his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Dante gave the honey blonde a big smile as he then got up and stretched his limbs.
The three got into a Jaguar as Trent started the engine up. Maverick rolled his window down as he waved to his friends. Kigen smiled as she waved back to him.
"HEY MAVERICK! DON'T BE MESSING AROUND AT THE LOGE!" Akuma yelled towards Maverick. He gave the red headed boy a glare but smirked and replied back,
"YEA! I'LL TELL UR MAMMA TO SCREW AN ICE DEMON!" Everyone laughed as Akuma growled as he went back into the house.
"All right. We have to go now Maverick, so tell them your goodbyes." Dante reached for his brother's head and started to mess his hair up.
"I rather not say 'Goodbye' since i'm not leaving them for good." Maverick smiled back, knowing that he's right.
"Don't worry bro. Your in good hands, right Jace?" He nodded as he waved to his little sister and drove out of the driveway.
"Welp what shall we do now? Since Mavy is going away for a while for a family reunion." Kigen rested her arms on her head as Cypher closed the door behind them.
"Well. I guess we could relax or do some paperwork?" Cypher looked at Kigen who's slowly going up the stairs. Stopping in her tracks, she slowly moved her head and hastily chuckled.
"Um. Relaxing sounds good to me, don't you?" With that, she ran upstairs and into her room.
~~~
"Man. How can you eat that much? Both of you?" Jace's eyes widen as he seen the two ate two bag fulls of subway sandwiches like a bulldozer chomping on the earth. Each bag containing various four whole meals.
"Thanks for holding our fountain drinks Jace." Dante spoke, still chewing on half of the footlong he gobbled up.
"More like two gallons of sodas... Each." Jace sighed, still struggling to hold his bag of sandwich, a large fountain drink, and two jugs of soda.
"I would never though that they would have a two gallon container... Usually they would give me a gallon container." Maverick gulped his third sandwich down as he rubbed his belly and licked his lips.
Jace sighed as he placed the two jugs of soda on the ground and pulled out the car keys. He pressed the button to open all the doors as the other two went in. The honey blonde gave both of them a glare as a hesitant smile came out of their faces. Dante and Maverick slowly went out of the car and picked up their enormous fountain drinks and went back in. He smiled at both of them as he picked up his stuff and went in. He started the car an chuckled as he drove off.
~~~~
"Man am i so bored!" Kigen yawned as he took off her holographic visors.
"Hacking through a mainframe isn't quite fun when Akuma and Maverick aren't here to make any noise while I hack." She disconnected herself off of the internet as she stood up from her seat. She turned off her desk light as she leisurely paced her way out from her room.
"Hey Akuma-saa? What cha doing?" Kigen slowly opened his door to see him on his bed with his eyes closed.
She noticed that he had his headphones on. With a evil grin on her face, she quietly walked towards Akuma's laptop and turned up the volume. She suddenly sees the red-haired boy jump up in fright as he threw off his headphones from his ears. Akuma sat up, thensuddenly saw Kigen in the corner of his eye as he growled in anger.
"Why did you do that, Chibi Ryu?" Akuma calmly asked as he held back his anger.
"Bored..." She sat down on the corner of his bed.
"Kigen. There must be a reason why you did that." He snarled softly.
"Yea. I was bored." Kigen smiled. She wasn't looking directly at him but up towards a single poster that lay hung ontop of his wall. He sighed as he lazily laid onto his bed.
~~~~~~
"GAH! ARE WE THERE YET?!" The two whimpered, as they try to hold their impulses down.
"You both should've not drank all your sodas that fast cuz the nearest stall is within a two mile radius." Jace snickered as he drove on.
"DAMNIT TDANTE! I told you that we should've NOT engaged in that drinking contest ." Maverick punched his brother on his arm. Dante grunted as he rubbed the part that his brother had punched.
"You two seemed to act as if you two weren't separated." Jace made a right turn over to a pathway into the forest. The two snickered as they reached for Jace's hair and started to mess up his hair-do.
"DAMNIT YOU TWO!" Jace growled as he tried to maintain his sight of the road.
"YOU BOTH WANT US TO GET KILLED!" The duo stopped dramatically as Jace started to huff. The brothers stayed quited as the hot-head teen continued to drive into the forest. As the car rocked back and forth from the unleveld ground, the car came towards a abrupt stop.
"Hey Jace? Why did we stop all of a sudden?" Maverick leaned towards Jace. "Well... You'll see, right Trent?" The honey blonde smirked as he looked at his rear view mirror as he gazed at Maverick.
"Righto" Dante sloped back as he used his hands as a pillow. Jace had opened his window as he searched for something in particular.
"Ahh-ha!" He then reached for a white rose and pulled it out of the rose bush. Then suddenly the ground below them shook as the car started to sink.
"OH MY GOD! QUICK SAND! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Maverick started to freak as he tried to open his door to get out of the car, but knowing that Maverick might freak out, Maverick's brother locked the door just in case.
"Dude, Mave, Get your head straight, be calm no worries, it's a secret entrance to the base. Geeze." Dante looked at Maverick, who slowly calmed himself down. Maverick started to calm down as he gripped the cushion of the chair as he looked outside to see that the car was on an elevator.
"Man, you can tell that I haven't been to the base in a LONG time." Maverick chuckled a bit.
"We noticed." The two spoke in a synchronized manner.
~~~~
Kigen turned her head as she looked towards her sleeping friend. She stood up as he covered Akuma with his black blanket and turned off his light. She slowly went out of his room as she closed the door behind herself.
"Kigen...?" A soft whisper came upon the darkened room.
"Yes?" Kigen slightly opened the door to see Akuma's gaze.
"Goodnight." She smiled as she said her goodnight to him and closed the door. Kigen then went to the securety box as she place the security on and turned off all the lights and went into her room.
To B~ KonTinU3d
Dante is maverick's bro. He has finally found his brother. He want's to get to know him but is caught in the crossfire between Eve's men and maverick. Will they both die and not get together or die trying...

A knock on the door was rushed Akuma to the mansion's front door and opened it. A male who seems to be in his mid teens looked at the other with confusion.
"Is this the Naiteiru residence?" The boy looked at the piece of paper then looked at the other boy with red hair in distrut.
"Yes? This is..." Akuma thought that Kigen used her other alias to buy this house. Ideas started to part take into Akuma's mind, thinking about assassins working for Sydney and trying to kill them off one by one.
"You don't look like Kigen. Are you her boyfriend?" The teen boy rose one of his eyebrows and looked deeply into Akuma's eyes.
"NO! I'm her best friend. MAN who are you anyways?!" Akuma stepped back from the shock that this dude standing in front of him thought that his bestest friend was his- girlfriend.
"Oh I'm sorry heh heh. You and Kigen have never heard of me but I'm... I'm her big brother. Jace Naiteiru. I work for C.O.R.E ever since Kigen was born and welp I kept an eye on her though she doesn't know that or anyone. " The honey blonde haired boy extended his hand as both boys shook hands.
"Oh and I also brought a friend." The other male turned around and simply waved once as he smoked a cigarette. He had shades to cover his eyes but Akuma knew that his eyes were closed and that he really didn't want to be here for some reason.
"Don't mind him... He really doesn't speak to anyone unless he gets to know them better. You could say he's anti-social, because he did that to me when I first met him." Akuma sighed in relief as he had thought that he had done something wrong to disgrace this fellow in front of him. The other male seem familiar. Like he had seen him before. But shook it off his mind as he stayed on guard.
"I've heard that she's been very busy in your last mission." Jace fixed his glasses as he looked at Akuma.
"Yea... So are you here to take the gundam or something?" Akuma crossed his arms and waited for an answer. He knew that once Kigen gets something, she keeps it and fixes it when necessary.
"Um no. The source just wanted us to check up on you guys and says that she is able to keep it if she wont use it for any evil." The other male muttered softly as he took out the cigarette out from his mouth.
"I gotta quite smoking soon. The names Dante." Dante extinguished the cigarette by stomping on it and then twisted his foot to make sure that it's dead.
".... I hope that your going to clean that up mister...." Akuma glared at Jace's friend.
"Come in I guess while I inform the other three that your here." Akuma moved aside as both Jace and Dante walked inside.
"Please wait in the Living room as I get them." He pointed to the living room as Jace and Dante looked at the huge mansion.
"Whoa. Kigen surely had outdone herself by getting this beautiful mansion all by herself. Still writing books and selling her paintings." Dante agreed to what Jace complimented his little sister in. The two walked into the living room and sat down.
"And she also had a bunch of expensive furniture." As Dante was about to touch a marble statue of some sort, he had heard someone clear their throat. The two faced their direction to where that noise was made. "And my I ask why you tried to touch my sculpture that I recently made as well as your names so I wouldn't call the police here?" Kigen tapped her foot and crossed her arms as the two stood up and bowed politely.
"Ohayoo Gozaimasu. My name is Jace. A pleasure to meet you and right beside me is Dante." Kigen still had an angered look on her face as she looked at Akuma for more information.
"Is it O.K. If I told her who you two are?" Akuma looked at both Dante and Jace.
"Sure..." Dante took off his glasses as he faced away.
"Jace is your big brother, Kigen and Dante is a friend of his." He looked carefully at the features of Dante, now that he took off his shades.
"Hey! You look like Maverick! Are you like his brother or something. Chunky Monkey said he did have a bro. But also said that he hasn't heard nor seen him ever-since when he was just five years old." As he was about finished with that sentence, Maverick walked acrossed the entrance way of the living room, with a subway stuffed into his mouth.
"I heard that... And quit calling me chunky monkey you ogre..." His eyes was closed as he started to chew his food. He then looked at Akuma and then the two people behind the couch. His eyes widen as he gulped his food down.
"Dante?! Is that you?!!" Maverick quickly ran into the living room while shoving his subway towards Akuma while kind of surprised him as he stepped back a bit, almost falling on himself. The two brothers started to hug each other. It has been a long time since they have seen each other.
"I thought you wouldn't recognize me lil bro.?" He placed Maverick in-between his arm and side and into a headlock then started to give his little brother a nuggie. Maverick tried to pull his head out but it was no use, Dante's grip was strong and he really wouldn't want his head popping out from his body.
"Um Dante, it's really hurting me. Could you please stop?!" Dante let loose and finally let his little brother go.
"We're both grown up and I forget how strong I am now." Dante chuckled as he looked at his brother with pride. Kigen walked towards Jace who just looked towards her with no emotions.
"Some kind of family reunion huh. How come I've never heard of you in the C.O.R.E.?" the red banged girl examined him as she walked around Jace checking if he's the real deal or someone trying to play a trick on her.
"I knew you were stubborn Kigen. But I wouldn't thought that you were this stubborn." Jace sighed as he handed her a manila folder without any doubt. She took the folder and opened it as Akuma went by her side to read it with her.
"Hm... It talks about the corporation that we were at and our data, Kigen..." Akuma looked at her, still holding the sandwich that Maverick suddenly shoved into his hands.
"Yea and it talks about our training and ranks too. But I still don't believe it Akuma." Kigen closed the folder and looked at the male standing infront of her.
"If you've been there then do you know who our mother and father are?" Kigen held the folder with her arms crossed, securing it within her grasp. Jace looked down and was quiet for a while.
"I would want to know who our parents where but unfortunately they wont give that away. But all I know is that our father was working with C.O.R.E but was later killed in a mission while we were growing up." He was hoping that she wouldn't ask that.
The honey blonde haired teen was waiting for a big emotional sister, crying from the fact that she never saw her father. He was shocked that she didn't do nothing. She just stood there, looking down at the ground while everyone looked at her, waiting for an emotion to break out. Maverick walked towards his love, about to comfort her. He placed his hands on her shoulder.
"Are you goin' to be all right, dear?" There was no answer from Kigen. Just silence.
"We never met him and yet he died in a stupid mission." She looked at Jace, frustrated and confused. Cypher had just walked in with a strange look on his face.
"Uh. did I miss something or what?" Akuma motioned Cypher to go with him to the kitchen. The brown haired boy knodded as he accompanied Akuma to the Kitchen.
"Alas, the time has come dear brother... to show me to your room." Dante placed a toothpick into his mouth as it stuck out a bit. Maverick walked towards the stairs as Trent followed. Kigen on the other hand, sat down on a near by couch and took a deep breath and sighed. Jace sat near hear and placed his arms around his little sister.
"I know it's tough but look at the bright side, you live in a great house, you have friends who care for you as well as a big brother to now protect you and guide you to the safest path there is." He smiled as her as she looked at him and gave him a hug.
"Are you goin' to keep your promise or do I have to whine and beg for it?" A smile came up to her face and both felt happy to find out that they are there for one another.
"So what took you so long to meet me Jace?" She looked up at her honey blonde haired brother.
"The corporation gave me a lot of assignments to go to and all the computer work made me so very busy Kigen." He slouched onto the couched, imagining the work he had put up through the years he's stayed there.
"Must be like hell going throught that Kind of stuff." She tried to imagine herself going through that mess.
"Nah that's not as tough at what you and the three boys have went through during your missions. Infiltrating bases, getting your ass nearly killed, and now; you got a new toy to play with from all that troubles you had to go through." He looked at the still visible bruises and bandages on her arms as well as her other teammates.
"It was worth it. If we hadn't hi-jacked that gundam. That girl, Eve would be destroying the whole city by now," She clentched her fist tightly as she remembered that demonic look in Eve's eyes.
"True..." Both looked down towards the ground as silence has begun once more. Kigen stood up and extended her hand towards her big brother.
"Shall I show you my abode?" She giggled as Jace grabbed her hand as she helped pull him up. The two walked towards the stairs. Kigen went up first as Jace followed her.
"In that room, is the viewing room to the holographic chamber..." She pointed to the door as they finally got up to the second floor.
"May I see it?" Jace started to get a bit curious.
"Sure." Kigen smiled as she opened the door to the viewing room.
"Good afternoon Ms. Kigen. My who might this person be?" The computer zoomed its cameras to Jace's face, trying to get some data or profile.
"Computer... This is Jace. My big brother... Hopefully you will be able to see him more often." She sat down on a movable computer chair.
"So this place is your main computer room? Nice. How'd you get all of this stuff?" Jace looked at the systems and tools that she had in hand.
"Yes this is the main computer in the house. It's only for the chamber though. Welp if you read my history, I bought all these things in pieces and upgraded it to my behalf. Ain't I soooo smart?!" She stuck her tongue at him as he chuckled back.
"So do you want to add your data in Computer?" Kigen turned of the system as the screen switched on. She started to type in some things as the computer opened a profile file. Jace sat down beside her as he carefully looked at the screen.
"What does this do?" He wondered.
"Mr. Naiteiru. This file will help you go into the holographic chamber. It tells me your abilities, skills, levels, and your approved status reports. It also helps me understand what you need to work on like Kigen needs to work on her sight abilities..." The computer spoke.
"Oh..." He understood that this chamber helps Kigen and the gang to approve of the skills that they need work on.
"Thanks for being a dork Comp..." Kigen was a bit ashamed for the fact that her very own computer babbled out about her weakness.
"Hey Kigen. Don't you have a name for your computer?" He looked at her and to the screen as he started to type his information down.
"Never thought of that... What do you recommend I should call my computer?" She leaned back onto the chair as she yawned a bit.
"Hmmm.. Why don't you call it Dorthy?" Jace continued to type his profile down.
"Nah... That reminds me too much of this teen girl named Dorthy Catalonia..." Shivers ran down her face as she remembered that cockroach eyed girl. Jace started to laugh as he heard of that legendary girl before.
"How about... Andrea? Hey computer do you like that name Andrea?" She looked up at the camera screen.
"That would sound much suitable Ms. Kigen. Thank you." Kigen smiled as she looked at Jace's profile.
"Wow... Your stats are really good." Jace covered the screen and laughed hesitanly.
"Hahahaha. You gotta be kiddin' me. I suck compared to Dante's!" He looked at the confused Kigen. Calmly, he looked down upon Maverick and Dante whos training in a matted floor.
"Sis... what are they doing down there? It looks like their sparring down there..." Kigen stood up as well as she too started to look down upon Maverick and Dante.
"Hai your right. I guess Dante has already placed his profile in already." She noticed that their just standing there, watching each other, waiting for the other to move first.
"I guess I should hurry and finish my profile." He sat down and started to type in the rest of his profile.
"This chamber kind of reminds me of the holographic room the teacher's placed us in." Jace looked towards Kigen as she nodded.

"Aren't you goin' to move or what, Dante?" Maverick clentched his fist, waiting for a drop of sweat to drop from Dante's face.
"No I thought the youngest should start first..." A slight grin came over his face.
"So be it." Maverick dashed towards his older brother as he just stood there, waiting for him to make his first move. As Maverick got closer, he threw a punch towards him. Dante simply smiled as in an instant his little brother was on the ground, face first.
"You need to work on your tactics..." Dante Chuckled as he extended his hand towards Maverick. He turned around and reached for his brother's hand. Dante helped him up as he smiled.
"You have to let your body do the talking, be relax and let your body react to your own flow. If you tense up, you lose and that's it." He patted Maverick's back and chuckled.
"Thanks for the adivce... I'll be practicing it and I know that for sure." He started to stretch his back and arms.
"So what have you been doing these pass years?" He looked at Dante who just placed a cigarette in his mouth.
"Been doing a lot of covernt mission as well as bounty huntin" He lit up a match and lit up the cigarrette.
"And when did you start smoking?" Maverick rose an eyebrow. Dante of course looked down at the cigarrette which was in his mouth and sighed.
"It's been a long time. Been tryin' to quit for a while..." He rose is left boot and tunred the cigarrette off by the sole of his shoe.
"You should. Smoking distorts your body function and you don't do things a hundered percent from that." Maverick waited for Dante to get ready as they under went another round.
"It's your turn to strike first." Maverick squated a bit as he placed one hand behind his back and used his other to motion his brother to come and do his most powerful move ever.
A mild snort came out of Dante as he suddenly vanishes out of Maverick's sight. The surprised Maverick then found out that Tobias placed him in a head lock, his elbows tightening up his head. Pain then emerged as his head felt like it was going to explode. Tighter and tighter his brother's grip went as Maverick slowly got his hand up towards his brothers. Then suddenly Maverick flipped him over as Tobias landed on his foot in the nick of time.
"That was just luck." Maverick rubbed the side of his head as Dante snicker a bit.
"Your such a show off." Maverick growled as he got enought energy and dashed towards his brother once more.
Again, Dante crossed his arms as a small grin came over him. Then with a flash, Maverick hastilydashed towards the right of his brother, and leg swept him, making his brother fall on the ground. His wide eyed expression showed that Dante didn't expect that to happen to him as Maverick Jumped up and threw a punch at his brothers head. The dark brown hair teen rolled away from his brother's punch as it met the mat that made the pain blunt. Maverick looked at his brother as Dante rolled on his back and gave himself enough momentom to help himself onto his feet. Dante then ran towards his brother and did a round house kick towards his face. His brother then blocked his kick as he held the bottom part of his leg and foot and pushed it away from his body. Dante again did another round house kick and yet again Maverick obstructed it as abruptly as he could as he punched him in the face. Dante didn't expect it as he stepped back a bit as he wiped the blood that trickled from the cut on his mouth.
"Good one. No one had laid a punch on Dante since now." Jace patted the shocked Dante on the back as Kigen ran towards Maverick and hugged him unexpectedly. Dante just looked down at the blood that stained his hand and looked at Maverick who was a bit worried about him.
"I've never felt pain for a while till now. Amazing on how the adrenaline just shot up like that. And your minor modification to my way of fighting improved in the short time we fought. Intriguing." Dante drew out his hand. Both brothers then shook hands.
"You two are amazing. I give you a lot of props for drawing some of your brother's blood, Mavy." Kigen looked at Dante's wound and took out a mini first aid kit she held in her black short pocket. She then handed it to Dante and he thanked her generously as he opened it to get some iodine to disinfect his cut.
"Do ya want me to stitch it up for ya?" Kigen refrerred to him as they all walked out from the room and into the control room.
"I guess. But I usually don't get this kind of help from people." He then took out a napkin and wiped any exess blood from his face.
"So anyways, let's change the subject... So how do you like the crib?" Maverick wondered as Kigen sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Very unique. So you two goin' out eh?" Dante rubbed his chin giving the two a sly look on his face. The two smiled.
"That's cool with me." He started to lean against the chair and stratched his arms.
"Just be good to one another ok?" Jace smiled back. the door opened as Akuma and Cypher popped in.
"So you guys where here all along, I thought you guys were still at the living room." Akuma leaned against the wall as Cypher growled at Akuma as he entered the room.
"Actually, he made me search all over the mansion INCLUDING the forest in the back yard." Akuma chuckled frantically as Cypher looked like he was about to make and imprint of his fist onto his face. The rest laughed as Akuma stayed very distant to Cypher.
~~~~~~
Jace's cell rang as he turned it on and spoke to it. "Yes Commander Rizal? How may I help you today?" The rest looked at him as he used his free hand to fix his glasses.
"Yes I'm at my sisters mansion... Oh no were all not busy." Kigen rose her eyebrow as Jace then sat down near her and grabbed a pen and pad and wrote,
"They're asking if Maverick and Dante wanted to do a special mission down at Alaska. It's to find out if there's any movement from any terrorists that we might not know as of yet." Kigen was surprised as she took the pen off from the table and also started to write something down.
"Oh ku. So it's like a really big reunion for them huh?" She then gave him the pen as he wrote down and yes.
"Sir, I would think that the two would accept the mission... Oh ok then, Your welcome. Goodbye sir." He then place his comammnder on hold as he walked towards the brothers of mayhem.
"Dante, Commander Rizal wants to know if you and Maverick would accept a mission to Alaska to find out of there is any terroristic movement goin' on there." Jace once more fixed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. The two looked at each other with a big smile upon their faces.
"Sure well do it. But in one condition." Dante placed his arm around Jace's back with his hand rested on his shoulder.
"What would that be..." Jace laughed hesitantly, fearing the worsed from them.
"Lemme see. We wanna stay at the Ice Hotel, two beds, two flat screen plasma TVs, two DVD players, a lot of food, game counsels, and some other stuff." Trent smiled at his friend.
"Like Games for the game counsels, Kingdom hearts, Tekken 4, DVDs, etc etc." Maverick jumped for joy just thinking about it.
"Two minds that think alike and often seem to act alike." Kigen sighed.
"Did ya hear that Commander?" Jace sighed.
"ALL THAT?! DO I LOOK LIKE I AM MADE OUT OF MONEY?! Nevermind... If they want it they'll get it..." Commander Rizal grunted.
"So it is confirmed that they are going to the mission with the condiminients that must require to live." Jace looked at the two who were making faces at him like sticking their tongues at him, making goofy eyeballs, and sqeezeing their cheeks together.
Jace sighed as Commander Rizal confirmed that their items that they wanted has been added to the inventory of the room that they had reserved for Dante and Maverick. While the two hopped for joy. Akuma and the rest just looked at them with sure amusement.
"Well in a half an hour, we'll be heading back to C.O.R.E to get Dante's things so... I would suggest that Maverick should get his things before we leave." Jace looked at Maverick who is still prancing around with his brother.
"I guess that's my que to help you." Kigen sighed as she walked towards Maverick and pulled him away.
"Strange. How they act like they haven't left each other from childhood." Cypher muttered to himself as he left to go to his room. Jace and Dante then followed Akuma to the living room.
"So Akuma. You don't remember me at all? Not a slight bit?" The honey bonlde glanced towards the red headed boy as he placed hand behind his head to support it as he looked up towards the ceiling.
"Not at all actually. But if you give me a hint then I would probably remember." The three walked down the stairs, with Akuma still looking up at the ceiling.
"Ok... Do you remember a day as kids, when you and your group including Kigen was heading off to your daily five mile runs. Do you remember when you looked up at the viewing room above the indoor forrest room, did you see two boys, one with a bit of a honey blonde hair much like the young cartoon character named Trunks but with glasses? And the other boy with not too short of a hair-do and not to visible short red bangs?" They sat down on the couch as Akuma tried his best to remember that day since he remembered that each and every day they had to run before every training classes.
"Come to think of it. It was when we were about nine...Wasn't that the day when Kigen got seriously hurt in the heavy armed battle?" Akuma bit his bottom lip just trying to remember that awful day.
"Yea. But you know that ever since that day, she has been pushing her limits to never ever let herself get into that kind of mess ever again." Jace shut off his eyes while leaning against the couch.
"Now I remember you!" Akuma rapidly stood up while pointing to Jace.
"You were there when the paramedics took her away. You were right beside her, checking if she had any internal injuries that might kill her." Right when he was about to say something else, Kigen and Maverick came into the room with a strange look in their faces.
"What's going on here?" A concern look came upon her as she slightly tilted her head.
"Nothing Lil' Dragon." Akuma went behind Kigen and messed up her hair.
"Welp I'm ready to go Jace." Maverick held his sack with one hand with the sack partly on the ground.
"All right. Trent, We're going now." Jace looked at his friend who was sitting on the couch, watch some T.V.
"Well can we stop by to get some geroceries?" Dante slanted his head back as he looked towards Jace, while turning off the television.
"Sure thing... Just don't buy all those junk food. You know that it's not good for you." Jace sighed as he fised his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Dante gave the honey blonde a big smile as he then got up and stretched his limbs.
The three got into a Jaguar as Trent started the engine up. Maverick rolled his window down as he waved to his friends. Kigen smiled as she waved back to him.
"HEY MAVERICK! DON'T BE MESSING AROUND AT THE LOGE!" Akuma yelled towards Maverick. He gave the red headed boy a glare but smirked and replied back,
"YEA! I'LL TELL UR MAMMA TO SCREW AN ICE DEMON!" Everyone laughed as Akuma growled as he went back into the house.
"All right. We have to go now Maverick, so tell them your goodbyes." Dante reached for his brother's head and started to mess his hair up.
"I rather not say 'Goodbye' since i'm not leaving them for good." Maverick smiled back, knowing that he's right.
"Don't worry bro. Your in good hands, right Jace?" He nodded as he waved to his little sister and drove out of the driveway.
"Welp what shall we do now? Since Mavy is going away for a while for a family reunion." Kigen rested her arms on her head as Cypher closed the door behind them.
"Well. I guess we could relax or do some paperwork?" Cypher looked at Kigen who's slowly going up the stairs. Stopping in her tracks, she slowly moved her head and hastily chuckled.
"Um. Relaxing sounds good to me, don't you?" With that, she ran upstairs and into her room.
~~~
"Man. How can you eat that much? Both of you?" Jace's eyes widen as he seen the two ate two bag fulls of subway sandwiches like a bulldozer chomping on the earth. Each bag containing various four whole meals.
"Thanks for holding our fountain drinks Jace." Dante spoke, still chewing on half of the footlong he gobbled up.
"More like two gallons of sodas... Each." Jace sighed, still struggling to hold his bag of sandwich, a large fountain drink, and two jugs of soda.
"I would never though that they would have a two gallon container... Usually they would give me a gallon container." Maverick gulped his third sandwich down as he rubbed his belly and licked his lips.
Jace sighed as he placed the two jugs of soda on the ground and pulled out the car keys. He pressed the button to open all the doors as the other two went in. The honey blonde gave both of them a glare as a hesitant smile came out of their faces. Dante and Maverick slowly went out of the car and picked up their enormous fountain drinks and went back in. He smiled at both of them as he picked up his stuff and went in. He started the car an chuckled as he drove off.
~~~~
"Man am i so bored!" Kigen yawned as he took off her holographic visors.
"Hacking through a mainframe isn't quite fun when Akuma and Maverick aren't here to make any noise while I hack." She disconnected herself off of the internet as she stood up from her seat. She turned off her desk light as she leisurely paced her way out from her room.
"Hey Akuma-saa? What cha doing?" Kigen slowly opened his door to see him on his bed with his eyes closed.
She noticed that he had his headphones on. With a evil grin on her face, she quietly walked towards Akuma's laptop and turned up the volume. She suddenly sees the red-haired boy jump up in fright as he threw off his headphones from his ears. Akuma sat up, thensuddenly saw Kigen in the corner of his eye as he growled in anger.
"Why did you do that, Chibi Ryu?" Akuma calmly asked as he held back his anger.
"Bored..." She sat down on the corner of his bed.
"Kigen. There must be a reason why you did that." He snarled softly.
"Yea. I was bored." Kigen smiled. She wasn't looking directly at him but up towards a single poster that lay hung ontop of his wall. He sighed as he lazily laid onto his bed.
~~~~~~
"GAH! ARE WE THERE YET?!" The two whimpered, as they try to hold their impulses down.
"You both should've not drank all your sodas that fast cuz the nearest stall is within a two mile radius." Jace snickered as he drove on.
"DAMNIT TDANTE! I told you that we should've NOT engaged in that drinking contest ." Maverick punched his brother on his arm. Dante grunted as he rubbed the part that his brother had punched.
"You two seemed to act as if you two weren't separated." Jace made a right turn over to a pathway into the forest. The two snickered as they reached for Jace's hair and started to mess up his hair-do.
"DAMNIT YOU TWO!" Jace growled as he tried to maintain his sight of the road.
"YOU BOTH WANT US TO GET KILLED!" The duo stopped dramatically as Jace started to huff. The brothers stayed quited as the hot-head teen continued to drive into the forest. As the car rocked back and forth from the unleveld ground, the car came towards a abrupt stop.
"Hey Jace? Why did we stop all of a sudden?" Maverick leaned towards Jace. "Well... You'll see, right Trent?" The honey blonde smirked as he looked at his rear view mirror as he gazed at Maverick.
"Righto" Dante sloped back as he used his hands as a pillow. Jace had opened his window as he searched for something in particular.
"Ahh-ha!" He then reached for a white rose and pulled it out of the rose bush. Then suddenly the ground below them shook as the car started to sink.
"OH MY GOD! QUICK SAND! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Maverick started to freak as he tried to open his door to get out of the car, but knowing that Maverick might freak out, Maverick's brother locked the door just in case.
"Dude, Mave, Get your head straight, be calm no worries, it's a secret entrance to the base. Geeze." Dante looked at Maverick, who slowly calmed himself down. Maverick started to calm down as he gripped the cushion of the chair as he looked outside to see that the car was on an elevator.
"Man, you can tell that I haven't been to the base in a LONG time." Maverick chuckled a bit.
"We noticed." The two spoke in a synchronized manner.
~~~~
Kigen turned her head as she looked towards her sleeping friend. She stood up as he covered Akuma with his black blanket and turned off his light. She slowly went out of his room as she closed the door behind herself.
"Kigen...?" A soft whisper came upon the darkened room.
"Yes?" Kigen slightly opened the door to see Akuma's gaze.
"Goodnight." She smiled as she said her goodnight to him and closed the door. Kigen then went to the securety box as she place the security on and turned off all the lights and went into her room.
